Forth Rail Bridge Abseil
11th October 2009
This unique challenge is your chance to abseil 165ft SAS style (i.e. free-fall) from the Forth Rail Bridge onto the beach below. The Forth Bridge Abseil is a real adrenaline rush for the daring and the ultimate challenge for the rest of us!
In April , abseilers raised over £61,000 to support our work throughout Scotland and we are truly grateful to them all and to their sponsors for such generosity. Visit our Facebook page to see their comments and more photos! (You'll need a Facebook login to view).
No previous experience is necessary to take part in the Forth Bridge Abseil it's suitable for everyone over the age of 16. Our team of highly skilled instructors will ensure you are equipped with all you need to make your abseil as safe and enjoyable as possible. Participants MUST be aged 16 years or over. Parental consent is required for persons aged 16 or 17 wishing to abseil.
Access to the Forth Rail Bridge is only possible due to the generosity of Network Rail. We are are delighted to work with them and Balfour Beatty again to offer you this limited opportunity to abseil from the bridge.
